Fisherman's World Norwalk 6/10/06

  • Fisherman's World6/10/06- Fishing is red hot off greenwich and stamford under the bunker schools as well as in 40' - 60' of water off hempstead harbor. in the hempstead area it is best to snag bunker and send bunker chunks and live bunker back into the bunker schools. at night anchor and fish the same way. bottom contour is not importnant at this time of the year, bunker schools are. this is where the fish are. fish to 40lbs have been caught this way. not all schools have fish in them and some have more than others. bunker have moved into the norwalk area. they come and go. keep your eyes open. there are fish in these bunker schools maybe not as many as the schools to our west have, however there are some quality fish in these schools. eric lovas caught a 39 lb bass in the norwalk area and three days later landed a 32lber as well. trolling around the bunker schools with shad umbrellas, bunker spoons, and surgical eels has been productive. chunking at 11b has been good at times. the ougoing tide is the better tide to fish 11 b. Some days are better than others. for the tube and worm fisherman, the islands and cockenoe reef are still good. for bigger fish try trolling the tube and worm aroudn the bunker schools. one thing to remember is that these fish are migrating quickly through the sound.
  • fluke fishing at sand city, eatons neck and the golf course on the long island side has been good. there are fluke being taken in the norwalk area. try peck's ledge and middle passage. There was a 12lb fluke taken while chunk fishing for bass off green's ledge by bruce scalafani.
  • porgy fishing is better off the golf course on long island side in 25 - 28 ft of water. Chumming helps.
